Iran responded to the announced end to US sanctions waivers for Iranian oil, saying they never considered there to be any worth or validity in US waivers in the first place, and that they remain ready to sell oil.
The Foreign Ministry said Iran remains in consultation with its
international partners on continuing the oil trade. Officials said
exports will not be “zero” under any circumstances. Of the six remaining
Iranian customers that are losing US waivers, China is the only one to
respond yet, confirming they will continue to buy.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also issued a warning against the US or
anyone else trying to prevent Iranian ships from accessing the Strait of
Hormuz, a vital path for the oil trade. The Guards warned they are
prepared to “shut it down” if Iran isn’t allowed to use it.
The Trump Administration has demanded a path to “export to zero” to try
to cripple Iran’s economy. The reality, however, is China is a large
customer, and isn’t going anywhere, waivers or not.
Maybe the return of gas lines and gas rationing will wake Americans to just how evil and corrupt “their” government is. On second thought, probably not.
Or maybe it will inspire us to develop real transportation alternatives which don’t involve us repressing and killing people half-way around the world.
nhm,,It will be too late, we will be killing each other, here, long before alternatives come to market, however I believe we have it now.
Idiot, Wrong.
So, this is what’s going to come down to? WW3 over the strait?
Anal….It only happens if BiBi says so, Trump waits for his orders, and the SJW’s and Radical Liberal Demoncrats thought it was about Putin,,,LOL!!
